A disciplinary board for the D.C. Bar Association made a similar argument in a lengthy decision last year, writing that Giuliani "claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it." The board said, “His utter disregard for facts denigrates the legal profession.” "Giuliani’s effort to undermine the integrity of the 2020 presidential election has helped destabilize our democracy," the board wrote. "His malicious and meritless claims have done lasting damage and are antagonistic to the oath to “support the Constitution of the United States of America” that he swore when he was admitted to the Bar."

In July, Giuliani lost his license to practice in New York; the D.C. Court of Appeals decision also cited “reciprocal discipline” after determining that Giuliani was unable to show why the New York disbarment was “wrong”.
